"Do you know him well?" asked Qin Lianyi."Sort of. There's nothing I don't know about his family, career, life, and personality. Besides, I've been living at Yi Residence for a while," said Ling Yiran."How about his dark side?" Qin Lianyi blurted out.Ling Yiran looked at her friend in surprise while Qin Lianyi looked slightly embarrassed. "I mean, after all, he's Yi Jinli. Don’t they always say that he's ruthless and those who’ve offended him won’t come to a good end?"Ling Yiran lowered her eyes slightly. She knew what her best friend meant now. Just like when she was in prison. A lot of people had picked on her because of Yi Jinli.However... "Lianyi, if you don't take that step, you’ll never know what the future holds for you. I want to take that step because I think no one in the world will love me more than him," said Ling Yiran as she looked up at Qin Lianyi.Looking at her best friend's firm gaze, Qin Lianyi's heart quivered. The two had been best friends for years. She
He should have held her tight from the beginning!"Hey, why are you drinking alone?" Ye Chongwei's voice suddenly rang in Gu Lichen's ear. "You rarely come here. Isn’t it boring to drink alone?"'Boring?'Gu Lichen turned the glass in his hand and glanced at the people around him.The only reason he agreed to attend Ye Chongwei's party today was simply that he had been so stressed these days, he wanted to take a breather.However, after he came, he found that it was still the same.All he could think about was Ling Yiran, and he could not get her out of his head at all."By the way, I heard that you and Jinli seemed to have some conflict earlier. What happened?" asked Ye Chongwei.Gu Lichen looked at his old friend with a half-smile. "You're well-informed."Ye Chongwei was stunned. "Really?" He had heard the news through the grapevine, but it turned out to be true. "How did you get into trouble with Jinli?"They had known each other since little. Ye Chongwei believed that in
'What's going on here?' It was the first time that he saw Lichen showing such an anxious and nervous expression because of a woman, and... He even rushed out impulsively!'What kind of woman is Ling Yiran?'He thought it was just a silly conflict, even if it was over a woman.However, now... His heart was filled with a vague worry. If these two were really fighting over a woman... Shen City would probably suffer from the sky falling and the earth opening up! 'Wait a minute! Hasn’t Lichen always just been concerned about the owner of the silver bracelet?'Unless…' Ye Chongwei was suddenly a little afraid to think about it.The consequences of that assumption ignited the fear in his heart!...Gu Lichen drove to the small restaurant.'Marry? Is she going to marry Yi Jinli?'Even before he found out the truth... No, no, he would never allow her to marry Yi Jinli!He had searched for her for years. He had engraved her voice and her face in his mind, bones, and blood. How could
However, she could not take a chance. She could not afford to lose Lil Yan. Lil Yan had become the motivation for her to live!Ling Yiran knew that she had no way of getting in on this, so she could only say, "You can always let me know if you need my help.""Thank you!" Zhuo Qianyun said with a smile, "In fact, you've helped me a lot. If it weren't for you, Lil Yan might not be able to..."Just then, a figure suddenly broke into the restaurant, interrupting Zhuo Qianyun.Gu Lichen ran in, panting. Under Zhuo Qianyun and Ling Yiran’s surprised eyes, he grabbed Ling Yiran by the arm and asked urgently, "Are you marrying Yi Jinli?"Ling Yiran was shocked. It had not been made public yet. She only mentioned it to Lianyi and Sis Zhuo."Yes," she gave an affirmative answer."Why?""Because I love him and he loves me. Isn't it a matter of course for us to get married?" She looked at him calmly and said, "Please let go, Mr. Gu!"Fortunately, it was evening and almost closing time, so
"You've mistaken me for someone else, Mr. Gu. Besides, even if you didn't mistake me for someone else, it makes no difference. The person I love is Jinli, and he's also the person I want to marry. I won't have any feelings for you," said Ling Yiran.Her words made his blood freeze instantly. His whole body stiffened.Ling Yiran took the opportunity to pull her arm out from between his fingers. "I hope you won't come to me for this again in the future. It doesn't make any difference whether I'm her."With that, Ling Yiran turned to look at Zhuo Qianyun and said, "I'm going to go home, Sis Zhuo.""Sure," answered Zhuo Qianyun.Ling Yiran had walked out of the small restaurant, but Gu Lichen still stood there while staring blankly at his empty hand.Empty, empty!'It doesn't make any difference whether she's her?'Why is that? Why?' Gu Lichen slowly gathered his hands and held them tightly, letting his fingernails prick deeply into his palms.Zhuo Qianyun looked at Gu Lichen with
'What's going on here?' What the childish voice said in her dream just now was so similar to what Gu Lichen said to her in the small restaurant this evening.'Is it because I heard those words that I’m having such a dream now?'Ling Yiran could not help but frown at the thought of this and felt her head hurt again."Why? Are you not feeling well?" Yi Jinli's voice rang in Ling Yiran's ear."No, just a small headache," she answered.He raised his hand. The tips of his warm fingers gently pressed against her forehead and temples, massaging her.The strength of his fingers was just right and the rubbing made her feel better."Feel better?" he asked."Yes, better," she answered as she nodded."Why don't I take you to the hospital tomorrow to have a check-up and see what's causing the headache?" asked Yi Jinli."No thanks. My headache is probably due to the dream I had. I think it’s because of what Gu Lichen said," answered Ling Yiran.Yi Jinli's hands immediately stopped what th
"Sure," she said and slowly closed her eyes. She felt his fingers gently rubbing and pressing on her head."However, Jin... Gu Lichen seems to really care about that person," muttered Ling Yiran. She used to think Gu Lichen was a playboy, but this man's insistence on looking for that one woman shook her up a bit.He was looking for a little girl he had met when he was a child. If he met that girl when he was a child, how long had he been looking for that person? Ten years? 20 years?Spending such a long time looking for a person… This was the kind of persistence many people did not have."He has been looking for so long. Do you think he'll ever find her?" asked Ling Yiran."Do you want him to find her?" he asked."I hope he does, so he won't mistake me for her anymore," she replied.With her eyes closed, she did not see the gloom and calculation in Yi Jinli's eyes.Mistake? No, Gu Lichen was not mistaken! However... He would make Gu Lichen think that he was mistaken! Yiran coul
She remembered it being sold for hundreds of millions of dollars and joked by asking who would wear such an expensive diamond in the future.Unexpectedly, the diamond now appeared in front of her eyes."Is this... Frozen Heart?" she asked in surprise."You've seen it?" He was slightly surprised."Yes." She nodded her head."I'm going to use this diamond for your wedding ring. You can take a look and see what kind of ring setting you like, or you can let the designer design what you want," said Yi Jinli.'A wedding ring?' Ling Yiran blinked in surprise.A diamond that was worth hundreds of millions of dollars for her wedding ring? Ling Yiran only felt that everything seemed unreal."You don't like it?" He frowned slightly. "If you don't like it, I'll see if there are any other suitable diamonds, or do you like other stones?""No!" She denied quickly. It was not that she did not like it, it was just... "This diamond is too expensive. Are you really going to use it for a wedding
